With its merger with Norton Rose going live on Monday, Fulbright & Jaworski becomes the latest Am Law 100 firm to target global growth by inking a merger deal with a leading London firm.

The combined firm, Norton Rose Fulbright, is now the third largest in the world by attorney head count with 3,800 lawyers in more than 50 cities, according to sibling publication Texas Lawyer. Houston-based Fulbright will drop the name of late founding partner Leon Jaworski, who was once the youngest lawyer in the Lone Star State.
